The Memorial Kids Fracture Service provides specialist paediatric fracture and trauma care at The Memorial Hospital in North Adelaide. Dr Will Cundy helps children and families understand the injury, treatment options and follow-up needed as growing bones heal.
When to seek emergency help
If your child is in immediate danger, call 000. A seriously unwell child, an open fracture, or an injured limb that is cold, pale or numb needs urgent emergency assessment. Do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.
Specialist care for growing bones
Children's fractures are different from adult injuries. Growth plates, alignment and the child's stage of development all matter. Dr Cundy's paediatric orthopaedic experience includes fellowships at Queensland Children's Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
Children's fractures we assess
- Elbow injuries, including supracondylar fractures
- Radius and ulna fractures in the forearm
- Wrist and distal radius growth-plate injuries
- Growth-plate (Salter–Harris) injuries
- Femur and tibia fractures
- Foot and ankle fractures
Assessment, treatment and follow-up
Management depends on the injury. It may include a cast or splint, monitoring with imaging, or surgery when required. Follow-up considers healing, growth and a safe return to school and activities. The Memorial Kids setting offers paediatric nursing and support for children and their families.
